The Appetite OF Birds.

OF all animals birds possess the
quickest motions, the most energetic
respiration, and the warmest blood,
and they consequently undergo the
most rapid change OF substance and
need the most food. Although few
creatures are so pleasing to the aesthetic
tastes OF a POLITICALLY inclined person as
birds, the breeder knows that most Of
them are to be looked upon as hearty
OF excessive eaters. Any one who
closely observes birds and their con-
duct will soon remark that all their
thoughts and efforts, aside from the
few days they spend in wooing and
their short periods Of resting, are di-
rectel to getting something to eat
With what restless earnestness do tit
mice plunge through the bushes and
the trees! Not Leaf is uninyestigated,
every chink in the bark is examined
for whatever eatable it may be hiding,
and sharp look is cast into every joint
of branch. How inuustriously does
the ousel turn and thras! the leaves on
the ground of the woods all the day
long, spying its game with a glance OF
it's sharp eye, and Swapping it up on the
instant! After observing few such
incidents we can easily believe the
stories that are related Ct the fish-eat-
ing powers Of the cormorant and Of the
fruit-eating birds that are able to con.
sumo three times their weight every
day.-PopulaG Science Monthly.

W.; commend to the wide-awake bust
ness public the sentiments of the follow
ing extract, which we find in western
exchanges; "No man can sell goods by
storing them in a cellar, locking the
door and hiding himself in an alley.
&c must rent good store, decorate it,
advertise his wares and solicit custom.
The same rule stands good in regard
TO town. If it's citizens do not adj
veriise the advantages they will never
be able to do any more than hold their
own citizens, and hardly that. Now a.
days when the rush OF capital is so
great from one section to another, a
City Chat sits down and does nothing is
exactly in a situation of a man who puts
lis goods in cellar and hides himself
in an alley.

boxing has by no means become a lost
art, prizc-fighting so far as the general
public is concerned, has fallen into ut

its own dignity and honor as well as to

on this brutal iraud?"

ONE day last week when Albert Nun
son, @ Hudson River shad fisherman,
drew his net to the surface of the water
Ale discovered a large fish among the
shad that he at first thought was a
sturgeon. After getting it into his
boat he SAW he was mistalen-the fish
was q strange one to him. Munson
brought the fish to Dempsey's market
in Rondout, where it was recognized as
being genuine salmon. 1t weighed
eighteen pounds. It was the third one
ever known to be caught in the Hudson
River. AboutsiN years ago Seth Green
placed salmon eggs in the Hudson
River. Tt is believed the fish Matched
